This past Tuesday I saw a FANTASTIC show at The Beacon Theater in NYC. Spinal Tap Unplugged and Unwigged..as it was billed. The 3 of them, Shearer, Guest and McKean, are excellent musicians as well as extremely funny people. They even had a great special guest..Elvis Costello. For those interested, here is the setlist:

Music for a change

I know I have been just posting mainly sports things, so I will take a break from that today. This past Saturday, I was at this fantastic party where there was a whole bunch of musicians to jam from the afternoon till as late as we can play. Of course there was great food too. However we had 2 drummers, bass, 2 lead and 2 rhythm guitarists. There was a keyboard set up, but person didn't show. I hardly ever get a chance to play with a keyboard player, so it would have been nice, but it was still great. We just did stuff we all know and played...with a couple of breaks...till 11:30 and nobody called the cops!! It was a blast and a half!!

The New York Mess

My how things change so quickly. The Mets had a 7 game winning streak. Pitching was great, as were the hitting and fielding. Now they have lost 4 in a row and look terrible. Of course it doesn't help that Carlos Delgado is out till at least August, and Jose Reyes is probably headed for the DL, among other wonderful things happening to the Mets right now.You can't help injuries. They play Bahstan in Fenway Pahk. Maybe they can turn things around. At worse they can have some chowda and Bahstan Scrad!!

Let's go Mets!!

The Mets just won their 7th game in a row. The pitching is better, they are hitting with men on base and they just seem to be breaking away from the horrible way they were in a few weeks ago. Let's hope it continues.

The Mets

Well, it's been a while since I wrote anything here, but after last night's 1-0 win over the Phillies, I felt the need to say a little something. Thank goodness Johan Santana is on this team. It is a shame the Mets can't score more runs for him, but I will take the win. They are now back to .500 and seem to be playing better. There are still some issues that need to be addressed, such as clutch hitting and pitching issues, but I am glad they are doing better.
